Vapiano

May boyfriend and I ate at this restaurant two days in a row. We were staying at the Mandarin Oriental nearby and barely food options were available nearby after 8pm.
We are so glad we came here. You take a card when you enter the restaurant and put it over a reader when you order. Pasta is cooked in front of you. Pizza and calzone take longer to cook. You will get a buzzer to tell you when your food is ready if it takes longer. You can sit down at any table indoor or outdoor and you pay back at the counter when you are done eating. I’m not sure if this concept would work where I’m from. San Francisco. I can imagine some people eating and just leaving… anyway, the Swiss people are just amazing.
Pasta is cooked to perfection. The texture of the pasta is just s perfect. The pizzas are thin crusted and was the best pizza I’ve ever had. The calzone was food too and not too heavy because the crusts were thin.
Two items for two people plus drinks are definitely 50chf and up. Food in Switzerland is not cheap, but even food at a non fancy restaurant tastes like it’s from a 5 star restaurant!
Recommend that you check this out and try their pastas and pizza!

Definitely great for young adults in Geneva! It was modern and quick as other views explain the process of buying with a card and paying the total at the end. I had the linguini carbonara and it was really good!

Pâtes pas assez cuite, ambiance stressante. Première et dernière fois que j’y retourne

You can choose what ever you want. Pasta, pizza and what kind of sauce. And they will make it instantly. Pretty good;)

Pretty decent place actually, I found it to be better than what my expectation was. Reasonably priced and quick service. You walk in, they hand you a charge card then you go to the different stations and order the food you want. After you’ve completed your meal you walk back to the station and pay for all you ate … similar to a fast food restaurant I suppose.

Pour ce que le Vapiano promet, ça vaut vraiment la peine: ingrédients frais (on les voit cuisiner devant nous donc oui sans aucun doute), rapide (c’est préparer de A à Z devant vous donc oui c’est quand même rapide) et le choix est varié… Entre pizze, salades ou pâtes, la carte décliné une bonne vingtaine d’options différentes pour les pâtes par exemple. Avec pas mal d’ingrédients dans les plats !
Je n’ai jamais goûté les pizze mais en tout cas les pâtes valent le détour… C’est meilleur que ce que j’ai pu manger dans certain restaurant (ou on est jamais sur que ça né sorte pas du congel puis du micro onde) !
Ils font aussi un the froid maison pas mal du tout et les desserts sont sympa… A l’étage vous avez aussi un bar à vin avec un espace lounge (vraiment pas mal) et une grande terrasse à l’extérieur avec canapés/​tables basses et tables/​chaises…
Il faut noter par contre que c’est un self service: lorsque vous prenez quelque chose, le montant est déposé sur une carte et vous payez tout à la sortie… Donc bien que ce né soit pas un «vrai» restaurant (service à table), j’ai quand même vu circuler des serveurs et au final les prix sont un peu moins chers !
Allez-​y, ça vaut le détour :) par contre attention, beaucoup beaucoup de monde a midi… Le soir c’est plus tranquille !

This was a unique fast-​casual restaurant experience. When entering, you receive a card where you load your purchases at the food stations and show them your card after you finish eating to pay for the total end balance.
I ordered the Crema Di Funghi which is «fresh mushrooms and oyster mushrooms, refined with white wine and cream» with linguine pasta and also a side bread. I thought it was a little bland so I ended up adding my own salt and pepper in it which made it amazing. The portion was fair as well!
I believe my total came out to be somewhere around 19 francs.
